Agni Missile I, with a solid-fuel first stage technology, was

first tested at the Interim Test Range in Chandipur in 1989.


The latest missile test occurred on 13 July 2012, when India
test fired Agni I successfully at Wheeler Island off Orissa
coast.
Weighing 12 tons with a length of 15 meters, Agni-1 has a
range of 7001250 km and is capable of carrying a
conventional payload of 1,000 kg or a nuclear warhead at a
speed of 2.5 km/s.
Agni-I is used by the Strategic Force Command (SFC) of the
Indian Army. On April 11, 2014 the missile was test fired for
the first time in a night trial exercise to its full range of 700
km from the Wheeler Island off the Odisha coast.
Agni II Missile
Agni Missile II with a range of 2,0002,500 km is 20
meters long, has a diameter of one meter, and weighs
around 18 tons. The Agni-II is a medium range ballistic
missile (MRBM) with two solid fuel stages and a Post Boost
Vehicle (PBV) integrated into the missiles Re-entry Vehicle
(RV).
The 2000 km range nuclear weapon capable missile,
already inducted into countrys arsenal, was successfully
launched as a training exercise by the Strategic Forces
Command on 9 August 2012. India on 7 April 2013
conducted its latest test of its nuclear capable Agni-II
strategic ballistic missile from a missile testing range in
Odisha. The test was conducted from Wheelers Island in
Bhadrak district.
Agni III Missile
Agni Missile IIIan intermediate-range ballistic missile
that is capable of nuclear weapons delivery. It was designed
and developed by the Advanced Systems Laboratory (ASL),
a unit of DRDO, which was formed in September 2001 with
its main objective being the development of large-sized
rocket motors.
The missile is likely to support a wide range of warhead
configurations, with a 4,500 km range and a total payload
weight of 2490 kg. Agni-III was tested on 12 April 2007,
this time successfully, again from Wheeler Island. On 7 May
2008 India successfully test fired this missile.
Agni IV Missile
Agni Missile IV is a two-stage missile powered by solid
propellant. Its length is 20 meters and launch weight 17
tons. It can be fired from a road mobile launcher. Agni IV
can take a warhead of 1 ton. It is designed to increase the
kill efficiency along with a higher range performance. Agni
IV is equipped with state-of-the-art technologies, that
includes indigenously developed ring laser gyro and
composite rocket motor.
20 January 2014: The missile was test-fired in the actual
weapon and road-mobile configuration of the Strategic
Forces Command (SFC), from the launch complex-4 of the
Integrated Test Range at Wheeler Island off Orissa coast.
The missile traveled a vertical distance of 850 km and
covered its full range of 4,000 km.
Agni V Missile
Agni Missile V is a solid fueled intercontinental ballistic
missile (ICBM) developed by Defence Research and
Development Organisation (DRDO) of India. It will greatly
expand Indias reach to strike targets more than 5,500 km
away. Agni-V was first test fired on 19 April 2012 at 08:07
am IST from Wheeler Island off the coast of Orissa, the test
was successful.
The 17.5-metre-long Agni-V would be a canister launch
missile system so as to ensure that it has the requisite
operational flexibility and can be swiftly transported and
fired from anywhere. Agni-V weighs around 49 tons.
The second test launch of Agni-V was successfully done on
15 September 2013 at 08:43 am IST from Wheeler Island
off the Orissa coast. The next test launch of Agni-V missile
scheduled to be carried out in 2014 is to be of canisterized
version.
Agni VI Missile
Agni Missile VI is an intercontinental ballistic missile
reported to be in early stages of development by India. It is
to be the latest and most advanced version among the Agni
(missile) program. It will be capable of being launched from
submarines as well as from land, and will have a strike-
range of 8,00010,000 km with MIRVed warheads.
